When he went to ''lre:land, a few. months ago, an application was made to him for money for these works, but he refused. to grant a farthing, and they were now, as they ought to be; under the direaiun' of the Board of Ordnance. 'Mr. Pole concluded with observing, that such was the accuracy with which the accounts "of the, Ordnance were kept, that it was possible in fii,e minutes to tell, what sum had been voted for any service, and what had been expended ; and when- ever any service was closed, the surplus money, if any remained, was carried to the public account. Mr. HUSKISSON defended his sentiments on a for mer night with respect to the financial system, and contended that something ought to be done to form a permanent system so as to meet the exigencies of the war, which might be carried on for some time. It wa s therefore necessary that Government sh - uuld be apprised to what extent the resources of the country would enable them to carry on the contest. He recommended a scale of expeiZture suited to that economy which was desirable. In furtherance of this opinion, he adverted to several of the items estimates which he considered deserving of lice ; but at the same time, vas disposed to admit. that his Right Hon. Friend (Mr. Pule) was in clined 'to adopt those principles which hie wished to ibtulcate.. General TARLETON considered the fortifications, upon -which some Gentlemen depended greatly, were ustless, particularly Martello Towers. Upon this subject of the detence, he was firmly of opinion, that if engineers were consulted they would not ap prove of these works. • Mr. WHITBREAD, in allusion to what had fallen from the flight Hun.

PRICE OF STOCKS Consols THIS DA Y AT TWILVK O'CLOCK. - 69 ws mentioned yesterday the arrival of a Flag of A'rt ice, and the subjoined Letter from our Dover C,or--- l'esPondent, proves the accuracy of our information, 4 ' soon, h owever, as ' i t was k nown that-a kiag of T ruce had Arrived, it was immediately reported that karshal DUROC had come over with a Letter from 11UONAPARTE to his Majesty. It Will, be recolleged that the foreign Papers mentioned, a short time since, that it was the intention of BLJONAPARTE to write t ° hl5 Majesty respealing the future fate oldie Elec t Orate 'of Hanover, and to' send his favourite, Du- Il° ;to this cou n t r y. Tt t i'S statement i n t h e F oreign p `Teri gave rise to the report to which we have 'll'aded. Th e f :l a that the Cherokee sloop of 1-v a k Ali in to ith a v esse l f r O m -Boulogne, 110/in on u °? , rd dispatches for the Transport Board; these dis- PatelleS WON landed at Dover,. on 'Liiursday night, and were. immediately forward l ed to London. ft seems, however, - to be the general opinion that, through the medium of a communication to the Transport Board, 11110NAPARTE has takkm the oppor tunity of making some proposition of a pacific nature. We are inclined to adopt this opinion ; but we do not thihk that under all the circumstances of Europe.. at present, any Negotiation between the two coup tries would be likely to be attended with any success. A Negotiation not carried on in the spirit, of peace, and not likely to lead to a pacific result, would be highly injurious to Great Britain., The idle Negotia tion which took place in - 1806;-..certainly did in a Very great degree paralize the efforts of this country. If, contrary:to our expeaation, contrary ; to all pro bability, contrary to the principles . upon which he has hitherto invariably anted, BUONAPARTE should be seriously disposed to conclude a permanent awl an honourable peace, we are convinced that he_ would meet with a corresponding dispositiun on. the part of the British Ministers; but, -on the other hand, we are convinced that they will not suffer themselves to become dupes to his artifices. We do not believe that any person was landed from the French vessel with the dispatches, but, the story of Dui oc's arrival is without the slightest foundation. The following is the letter of our Dover Cor respondent. 66 DOVER, MARCH I 6—Last night about nine, the Cherokee sloop of war landed some dispatches, which they took out of a vessel from Boulogne, which was coming to this country ; they were forwarded im mediately by express , to London, addressed, it is said to the Transport Board." All the accounts from Russia continue to speak in the strongest language of the dissatisfaaion of all classes of the people of that Empire, at the mea sures of (hell- Government. The Government of Russia allows the people no - voice inr the manage ment of public affairs; whenever discontent there fore arises to a certain extent, a Revolution may al- . ways be apprehended, for the people have no Innate manner of expressing their opinions: If the Emperor ALEXANDER has not the prudence to re traa in time, the consequences may be most fatal to himself. It is reported that 13110NAPARTE is going to reward the sul mei viency and kvotion of the K-irg of Denmark, by aiepriving him of the Duchy of Hol stein, which is the most valuable part of hii.Domi ni.,rv:. This Duchy, it is/aid, is to be given to the Duke of Oldenberg, whose dominions are about to b.:rinne xed to WL.tstphalia. Lord HOLLAND yesterday, giving notice in the House of Lords, -of a Motion relative to the Ex_ change of Prisone rs, intimated that a considerable coolness subsists-between Lord MULGRAVE and the rest of his Colleagues. These observations have given rise to a report that Lord .MULGRAVE is about to retire from the Admiralty. Last night Dutch Papers to the 14th inst. ar rived. They contain an account from General Au- GEREAU, of a battle fought between the Spanish army under General 'O'DONNELL, and the 'French under General SOVHAM. The French of course claim the via - tory, but there is strong reason to doubt their account, anal we are inclined to think that the real fad will turn out to be, either that the French were defeated, or that it was a drawn battle. The French General, SOVHAM, was severely wounded. 'Yesterday the D uke of CLA REN CE arrived at Wind sor, on a visit to their MAJESTIES. Yesterday the Duke of YORK paid a visit to Prin cess AMELIA, who, we have the satisfatiion to say, is a little better. - Last night his Excellency the PERSIAN AMBASSA DOR had a splendid assemblage at his.: house in Mansfield -street, at which their Royal Highnesses the Prince of WALE! anti all the ROYAL DUKES, his Brothers, were pi esent, to pay their compliments to the IlluStrious Stranger.. Great numbers of the Nobility and Gentry were also visitors 'on this oc casion. Yesterday morning the Duke of YORK arrived'at Windsor, arid rode out with his MAJESTY, Prin cesses AUGUSTA:3EId SOPHIA, accompanied by Lady ALBINA CUMBERLAND, Sir BRENT SPENCER, Ge nerals WINYARD, CARTWRIGHT, and COI: TAYLOR. The morning proving very cold, his MAJESTY•spon returned. THE ORATORIO.—The seleCtion from The Ales. siah, performed at Covent-Garden Theatre last night, was attended by Li crowded audience. CATALANI exerted her wonderful powers with her usual suc cess, .and the rest of the performers acquitted them selves vet) , ably. • Yeste.4day a Court of Direetors was held at the East India House, when the ship Larkinl, of 650, and Hope, of 53'0 tons, were taken up for the Com pany's service. The Court adjourned at seven o'clock, till Tuesday next. SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCES ATTENDING A FOX. CFIASE.—On Friday week, in the neighbourhood of Colchester, as the hounds were running (as it is supposed) a bitch lox from ThOrrington-hall wood,' St. Osyth; soon alter they had quitted that cover, a second (supposed to be a dog lox), was seen to leave it,',which followed the hounds o , er Thorriiigton common, through Hockley wood,' and Alrestord Hall woods, when he was headed back; but not withstanding, he persevered, until the former fox went to earth near Heektord bridge, a chase alto- ' getter of near fifty mites. • .

LINCOLIVS,rnuE LEND .41SSItE -More Vastness has come before Mr. Justice BAY* LEY at the assizes at Lincoln this week, than iS known to have ever before detnanded at one time the attention of the C our t s f o r this- county. At large a calendar has been known, and as consider able an entry of civil causes; but it Ins not be'ore happened that both th e one an d th e other have been so heavy at the same assizes.--4n consequence,'the Judge has been detained at Lincoln a day longer than usual ; and at four o'clock on Thursday even-. ing (in the morning of which day _it has been usua to open the commission at Nottingham) he was still presiding in the Nisi Prius Court of this county. Several causes were disposed 'of in the same Court on Monday. On Tuesday and Wednesday the Judgd sat in the Crown Court for the delivery of the gaol. Edward Chiniley, lately of Winterion, millor, committed on the charge of a rape on the body of Elizabeth Gollands, on the 24th of December last,_ was not tried on the capital -part of the iudietment (the evidence as to the consummation of the 6 . 410 being thought defeCtive), but . was arraigned for a violent assault on the prosecutrix with intent to • violate her per s on. The nature of the. exantcnae tion precludes the publication . of m any particulArs, It seems the prosecutrix (a very .personable young woman, only seventeen years of age), went, with some other females, to the statute at . Win terton, to be hired for service, and was singled out and engaged by the prisoner. Notwithstanding that he is a married man and has a child, he very soon after the prosecutrix entered into the service of his fa-' milt', began to evince towards her an amorous in-i clination, to which the young woman gave no en-, couragement; but acquainted her mistress of certain indelicate liberties which the prisoner had atteMpted to take with her. After repeated unsuccessful at tempts to seduce her, the prisoner at length resolved . on etfealing his purpose by violence • and an Christ mas eve, his wife and I h e other members of his family, except the prosecutrix, and a man servant named - Asquith, employed 'in the mill, being gone to Win-- . terton, from which town his house is ,situated about half a mile, he assaulted the young woman, and, after a long struggle of resistance, so-fh exhausted her strength, that she - fainted, and became .a vic-thrl to his lust. On her recovery, and release from- the brutal violence Of the.prisoner, she went to : - ,cquaint her mistress at Wibterton with what had happened, and then returned to her home and t , he protection of her mother. This was the erre& of.the evidence. The testimony, .charaaer, and previous ehasti y of the prosecutrix were attempted to be impeached by the 'counsel and evidence of the [ risoner ; and Mr. Chimley, on being asked whither he bad him- - self any thing to say, made an impassioned appeal • to God that he was innocent. - The Juryf-und him Guilty. M. Justice BAYLEY immediately passed sentence in a most impressive way. The prisoner, he ob served, so far from being the seducer even of the fe male whom_as a master and the head di a family he was bound to proiea, ought to have Correded in_ her any propensity which she might have 13.yiraye c f to an improper intercourse ; but when, in gro,s.vi :- .-lation of morality and the duties of society, h by brutal violence rubbed her of her chastity, he b.:- came an offender of so dark a rank, ithat go od men in their -resentment would hardly ihir i k any punishment too severe to be inflided on He (the Learned Judge) in verity declared, that, considering the relation of the prisoner and the prosecutrix, had the former been tried and foiind guilty of the capital offence for which he had been first indi6ted, he have .felt it his duty, - as a warning to society in these parts, to have left him for execution. As it was, he sentenced him to pay a fine of four hundred pounds to the King, and to be im prisontd two years in the -house of correction at,Kir... ton;. and further to be imprisoned until the fine be paid. ARNOLD V. NOTZELL. The plaintiff is a young woman who had lied in the capacity of servant to the defendant, by whom, although he is a married man and 70 years of age, ahe became pregnant. The adion was for an assault, under the following curious circumstances. The young woman was delivered of a child on the 2 2d of June, at the tiOnse of CatharineLatnb, of Wools thorp: a fortnight and two drys after., her delivery, the defendant called, and begged that she wuulds part with the child ; to this the girl would not consent, fin - fear it should be sent to the Foundling Hospital. - Mrs. Netzell accompanied her husband to the plaintiff's, and after quieting her apprehension by fondling and feeding the infant for a short time ; she suddenly whipped it Op, and ran off with it, The distressed mother attempted follow and rescue "hbr child, but the old man prevented this by vio lently holding her down for ten minutes ; and af terwards, on her getting up, he pushed her down with force on the other s side of the room. ' . This Was the assault complained of ; and Serjeant Vaughan observed that, as the old gentleman had gratiiicd his passions in more ways than one, the Jury would make him pay the piper. Catharine Lamb, the witness who proved the facts, on cross-examination (With a view on the part of the defendant to proVe improper treatment of the infant by the mother), admitted that it was not usual to let a child go a f or t n i g h t and two days be fore it sucked ; the child's clothes were sent after it, and the plaintiff-had got the . infant again. -0a re-examination, she said the girl was a tender mo ther, and tliete was no reasJn to take the child away on that account. • Mr. BALGUY, for the defendant, said that his client was not an Englishman, and that such of the Jury as had happened to have seen the picture by Sir .Joshua Reynolds of the pld Marquis of Granby„ would find the very portrait of him' (Mr. Notzeil) in the droll Swiss servant holding the horse at the back of theMarquq. This silly pld man of 70, who had been 30 years married without having, a: child, WjS WOUCkfftlily delighted with the reputation of having got a son and heir, and, strange to tell, he bad inflsed the same kind of pleasure at the circumstance, into' his wife. 'll - .‘ey had taken the child away to get'at; apothecary for it at Grantham'; and all that he did to the girl was merely to take her by the waist and ' hold her down, whilst this kind theft was pra:Aised ; and as she has got the child again, no harm was done. Justice BAYLEY, slid, in point bi law, on assiult had been prov,td,and the pl liutitt was clearly ea:lied to a verdid.—Datnages 301.
